We purchased our Vizio VBR100 direct from Amazon. We were surprised how quickly the Amazon store shipped. The set-up was rather simple. It was nice to have matching component with Vizio 32 inch LCD. We have the 720 resolution tv; not knowing Blue ray would shortly be part of our home entertainment system. We are already looking at 1080 resolution 37 or 42 LCD. Another Amazon purchase???
The pros of Blue Ray. Regular DVDs upgrade to TV resolution in our case 720. HDMI who invented this technology?? We only have two cables plugged into our TV. HDMI for HD Cable and HDMI cable for Blue ray player. We are also thinking about getting a dolby stereo with HDMI technology. Only three HDMI cables and a couple speaker wires? Sounds pretty simple,doesn't it??
Blue ray discs are great! We still need to try our BD live feature. I am now curious about updating the firmware. Vizio player picture quality? I have to be biased because I own a Vizio television.
The cons? The cons are few. Vizio needs to bring back its Vizio universal remote. I have to use a separate Vizio remote to change my HDMI selection on my Vizio TV. The setup noise. I almost had a melt down the first time I powered up the unit. I thought I had a broken player. No, its just plain noisy,during power up. Once you load the disc it purrs like a new born kitten. Start up time is slow when playing non-blue ray discs. Blue rays load up rather quickly.
Blue ray technology is going to remain hopefully a long time? The motion picture companies are slowly making new releases affordable. You can get a catalog selection of long time favorite list of Blue ray movies for the regular price of most regular dvds.
Closing statement: I have unplugged my long lived and still living dvd player from a competitive manufacture. I have a young family and a tight budget for diapers and formula. Vizio home entertainment, keeps a smile on dad's face.

I bought this Blu Ray player when I purchased our VIZIO VF551XVT 55-Inch XVT because I guess I wanted the same brand of BR player as the TV.
Pro's: Great picture as good as more expensive players.
Looks Nice all touch panel front.
Has optical AND coaxial audio out.
Plays thru HDMI as well as the RCA out, only important if you plan on watching BR on more than one tv.
Middle: Remote is ok, not great not bad. as I said just ok.
Con's Noise. this player is a little noisy when you first turn it on. it make a loud hum for about 4sec. then all quite after that.
No net apps such as netflix (would be nice) pandora etc, if that's important to you then look somewhere else.
Other than a slight noise issue and the lack of internet apps, I can't fault this player for anything.
This player has an Excellent picture & great sound!
Well worth the money.

Watch for sales. I purchased from amazon for $100.
Good product. The noise level when you are putting a new disc in or powering up is kind of loud but once you play the disk you don't hear it any more. It was a surprise to hear it at first but it wouldn't keep me from buying it if I had known before.
Easy to set up. The remote has a lot of keys that you don't need. I still don't understand DVD / BluRay remotes that have number keys on them. But it does have everything you do need and it's not hard to use.
What I also like is that if you have a Vizio TV the BluRay remote will also change the volume on the TV.
Overall good purchase and I feel it was a good value.

Having a PS3 as my primary Home Theater playback device, the wife and I decided that we wanted to update our dvd player and tube in our bedroom. We bought a Samsung 550 32 inch TV and found we had limited funds for a Blue Ray player. Went to the local Wal*Mart and found this little player on sale for $120.
The problems that I have with this player is that on initial movie load, it is LOUD. The player vibrates, shakes and rattles. After the initial load, the player calms down and plays the movie without interruption or vibrations. I have inspected the discs after playback and seen no scratches on CDs, DVDs or BD-Discs.
Would I recommend this player, yes with a the caveat of the load noise.

I bought one of this when they first came out early last fall from a large discount store. I was really impressed as I unboxed it - it looked very nice and had a nice "hefty" feel to the case (unlike so many other players). I hooked it up to a 37" Vizio 1080p TV. The Blu-Ray quality was decent - nothing to write home about though. While it was better than an upconverted DVD of course, it didn't have the crispness to the image that I was expecting. I ran about three recent movies through it and all had the same result - good enough, but not great. Then I tried upconverting standard DVDs. That's where it really fell down. The image quality was much worse than my upconverting DVD player. No depth, fuzzy, stuttering in fast motion. Other disappointments were the weak sound quality with both DVDs and Blu-Rays and a very short range for the remote. I literally had to be in front of the player to activate it. The DVD player or TV had no issue with the same angle. All in all a weak effort from Vizio (and it went back).
Black Friday I grabbed a Toshiba BDX-2000 from Amazon. It has more or less the same specs as the Vizio but its performance is like night and day better. Sharper Blu-Ray, better upconverting (still not as good as my DVD player though), much better sound and greater remote range. I thought maybe I was being too harsh on the Vizio, but after having the Tosh for a few weeks I can see that I wasn't.
